EVE General Discussion

Something I very much enjoyed in school

Your point?

Not this little girl.

Bet on stupid.

Fleet invite works surprisingly often so you don't have to ask where they are, just wait for accept and warp straight to them. It might also serve as distraction for that 1 second you need to warp to his belt/anom you just d-scanned him at.

Also if 1 player loses pixels by actions of another player(s) it is pvp, no matter what space bushido aficionados say about it.

OP, keep it up!

Incorrect, PvP means Player versus Player, not fair and honorable combat.

Thanks for noticing! But the only things in New Eden this pilot is in danger of assassinating are space rocks and wrecks.

Grats on your first kill. Clever method as well. Nice work!

A lot of mixed responses here. You get this conversation in every pvp game. In SC2, for example, people consider rushing and fast attacks to be "immoral". Personally I don't think there is a moral high ground in eve (or any competitive game). We never have any control over how people will respond to our actions when engaging in pvp. Why then should I concern myself with it? Why should I care how upset someone will be if I blow up their precious little spaceship they spent years working towards. If they cannot process loss in a healthy way that is their problem, not mine. I play eve to fight other players and the second you undock (even in highsec) you are consenting to any and all forms of legal (ie. actions that don't get you banned) competitive pvp.

I come from the starcraft 2 community where there are similar viewpoints regarding the morality of strategies considered "cheesy". Things like 10 pool baneling or 7 Roach Rush and blink all-ins are widely considered to be immoral and bad mannered. The higher you get on the ladder the less people care if a strategy is legitimate or not. I was stuck in gold league for a really long time. Then one day I stopped getting upset and angry at people "cheesing" me and I got two promotions within a month.

I'm not chest beating, I just sick of hearing the same discussions over and over again no matter what game I go to. In starcraft its cheesy strategies that people think are evil, here its obviously (judging by the responses) that attacking miners is evil. It's the same discussion between those who prefer pve and those who like pvp.

You created a thread about your first PvP kill in eve...



and it was a miner...



and it was because you tricked him into thinking you were friendly.



When you kill something that shoots back at you (by yourself preferably), come back and post again. Then you'll see why you look like a bully and it doesn't look like real PvP.




It's literally akin to being a Platinum player, going hey, that bronze player wants to "PvP". So you go to him, tell him I can help you get better, then just smash his face in with a 10min push.
